Heaven Hill announced on Thursday the Fall 2024 release of Old Fitzgerald Bottled-In-Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon. This bourbon has an 11-year age statement and was made from barrels distilled in the Fall of 2013 before being bottled in the Fall of 2024.

Following Bottled-In-Bond regulations the whiskey clocks in at 100 proof. Heaven Hill shares that the whiskey has a tax strip signifying when the bourbon was distilled and bottled. Old Fitzgerald Bottled-In-Bond has a suggested retail price of $154.99. The label depicts a key as a nod to the brand’s slogan, which dates back to the 1940s: “Your key to hospitality.”

“Heaven Hill Distillery’s Fall 2024 Edition Old Fitzgerald Bottled-In-Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a masterclass in tradition and craftsmanship,” Master Distiller Conor O’Driscoll said in a news release. “At 11 years old, this release celebrates a first-class legacy within the Bottled-In-Bond category. As the 14th release in this prestigious series, it reaffirms Old Fitzgerald’s place as the pinnacle of American Whiskey honoring both its storied past and the continued excellence that Heaven Hill brings to every bottle.”

In April, Heaven Hill released Old Fitzgerald’s 25th Anniversary Bottled-In-Bond bourbon, which was meant to honor the moment Heaven Hill acquired the Bernheim Distillery after the Old Heaven Hill Spring Distillery caught fire in 1996. The bourbon was available on an allocation basis and had a suggested retail price of $229.99.
